9/11

Welcome to the first conspiracy theory. We will start with an event which marked the whole society and took many lives...the 9/11. ,,Hi baby you have to listen to me carefully, I'm on a plane that's been hijacked. I wanna tell you I love you, please tell my children that mommy loves them very much, I´m so sorry. I hope to be able to see your face again...I love you! Goodbye´´ These are phrases that hit everyone and there were hundreds of such destinies.

Officially The September 11 attacks were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks against the United States on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001. They hijacked four planes of American Airlines and United Airlines and two of them crashed into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York and killed all people on the board and others inside these buildings. Both affected buildings collapsed within two hours. But there are many conspiracy theories about this, half of Americans believe them and even the president Bush slipped up a few times and almost said a word conspiracy himself.

Now the conspiracy theories begin...How could you explain that this event was predicted many years before it actually happened in comics, films and the most of them were in children's fairy tales which is a very disturbing fact. For example in April 2001 in an animated series called Johnny Bravo was literally a picture of two towers on fire with a label ,,Coming soon´´... how scary is it? How could someone predict a terrorist attack? This is called predictive programming. It means that someone ,,inside´´ and it could be for example the government or whoever you want and who rules this world, pushes you certain information about some situation and when it happens you aren't so surprised.

One of the biggest theories is that it wasn´t just planes flying into the buildings but that there were bombs planted as well. Of course, that government said No, it was a terrorist attack, but some people think that the government coordinated it themselves. But we are going to focus on the bombs because the day this happened everyone was saying that they heard bombs and even a fireman said it: ,,There's a bombs in the building, start clearing out," This is where it gets crazy...one of the survivor from 9/11 said that he heard bombs before the planes even hit and to make things even more complicated and mysterious we have some pictures where you can see explosions coming out of the sides of the building.

This theory gets even more tangled...some people believe there were no planes at all and it was just the bombs so all the clips we saw on the news of planes flying towards the towers were CGI (computer-generated images). I know it sounds crazy but one of the evidences is that the plane disappeared in the tower very softly without any parts exploding, twists or slow down, just like a knife through a butter. Some scientists claim that it is physically impossible for the nose of this boeing to survive such a hit but this boing on videos did, so it is other evidence that it is CGI. Also, in most of the clips that are online it goes black for a split-second right when the plane hits and one wing during the flight disappear for a moment...so much coincidence don´t you think?

Well, I don´t know if I believe the theory that these planes are just CGI because that seems a little bit over the top but the second one with bombs is more believable for me because there are evidences that can´t be unproved like the testimonies of many independent witnesses who heard it for themselves. So now it is up to you how you will perceive these conspiracy theories and what you will believe in.
